Keyboard input
var inputTxt:TextField;
var outputTxt:TextField;
inputTxt = new TextField();
inputTxt.type = TextFieldType.INPUT;
inputTxt.width = 200;
inputTxt.height = 18;
inputTxt.border = true;
inputTxt.background = true;
addChild(inputTxt);
outputTxt = new TextField();
outputTxt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
outputTxt.y = 20;
addChild(outputTxt);
if (Capabilities.hasIME)
{
IME.enabled = true;
try
{
IME.conversionMode = IMEConversionMode.JAPANESE_HIRAGANA;
}
catch (error:Error)
{
outputTxt.text = "Unable to change IME.";
}
System.ime.addEventListener(IMEEvent.IME_COMPOSITION, imeCompositionHandler);
}
else
{
outputTxt.text = "Please install IME and try again.";
}
function imeCompositionHandler(event:IMEEvent):void
{
outputTxt.text = "you typed: " + event.text;
}
The previous code creates two text fields and adds them to the display list. The first text field, inputTxt, is an input
text field that allows the user to enter Japanese text. The second text field, outputTxt, is a dynamic text field that
displays error messages to the user, or echoes the Japanese string that the user types into the inputTxt text field.
Virtual keyboards
Flash Player 10.2 and later, AIR 2.6 and later
Mobile devices, such as phones and tablets, often provide a virtual, software keyboard instead of a physical one. The
classes in the Flash API let you:
Detect when the virtual keyboard is raised and when it closes.
Prevent the keyboard from raising.
Determine the area of the stage obscured by the virtual keyboard.
